I have a router I’m running nord vpn but I use bitTorrent on windows and I’m looking to switch. Does anyone have a flavor of Linux and program they use?

Any advice would be helpful I’m getting nowhere on forums.

    +1 for the WRT router, if you can get a decent device with an enough powerful CPU it can host Transmission

      Asus WRT Routers are great however, it doesn’t support certain Registrars for DDNS like Cloudflare so I had to install Merlin Firmware, ssh into the router and then manually configure a cron-job so that my A records stay up to date with my WAN.

      Thankfully somebody already been down this path a posted the documentation which made things 100x easier.

        My ISP uses CG-WAN so in order for me to remote into it, I had to set up Tailscale, the OS isn’t perfect but is way better than any consumer grade router in the market. I also use a custom firmware, modified version of OpenWRT that works with routers with modems.
